"There you go, now try to add your stupid bugs. See, you can't!".

There! Now try to make a doubly linked list

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

unsafe time.

I've poked around in the Rust linked list tutorial, and it all seems like hacks to me. At the end of the day I think you just need to use raw pointers when you're implementing list operations.

'Rewrite it in Rust' isn't a joke anymore

Was it once a joke?

The picture itself is satire, but there already being rust in the kernel is reality.

haha. it's something I could see Linus doing, tbh. So I wasn't sure. Thanks.

Yes, but he's doing it because he values the technological advantages of rust as a systems programming language, not because he likes to punish coders. In fact, rust has been the most loved programming languge for 7 or 8 years in a row now according to the big stack overflow survey, so it doesn't make much sense for the purpuse of punishment.

This satiric picture resonates with a certain community of conservative and overconfident C-programmers. It has been created by bryan lunduke, who is a reactionary dumb fuck.

Bryan Lunduke on /c/programmerhumor? Not what I expected, but okay.

Actually, Lunduke made the best meme I've ever seen.

Finland is in an extended sense 'Scandinavian'; though I'm not sure that they consider themselves descended from 'the Vikings'.

Nordic, but not Scandinavian.
